In the meanwhile, Hyundai has updated the Verna with features like DRLs and 16 inch wheels. The Verna now looks a tad bit plush than before with added goodies.

The City was always the number one choice for anyone in the market for this segment. It ruled the roost for many years until a few years ago when cars like the Vento, Linea and Verna jumped in.

The Linea, when it was launched in 2009 had a list of features unheard of in this segment. Does it continue to do so?

You must have made out by now that the Linea is the largest car of the three and even the other models viz. Rapid, Vento making it the biggest car in its class and also the most loaded in terms of features. Couple that to the tag of one of Indias best handling saloon and you`ve got a winner. But will this be enough to beat the new City with its dynamic styling and futuristic interiors? or will the Verna continue to give nightmares to its competition?

Only time will tell, till then stay tuned to 4wheelreviews for news and updates on the New Linea and City.
